Top 50 Bad Movies of the 2000s (11-20)

Image
"I got to get away from those damn horrible scripts" ______ 11. The Wicker Man (2006) : “How did it get burned?” Nicolas Cage basically runs around the entire movie punching women in the face while wearing stupid outfits. I can’t believe a studio released this movie in its present form. Cage really needs to stop acting. ___________________________________________________ 3000 Miles to Graceland Want to know how stupid this movie is? Just look at the picture above. _______ 12. 3000 Miles to Graceland: More like 3000 Miles to Shitland…I don’t know who to blame for this road/heist movie. This movie should have been a lay up with Russell and Kevin Costner in the movie. Instead, we get a confusing movie that comes across campy and stupid. ______________________________________________________ Swept Away This is Lost without the Smoke Monster or good scripts __________ 13. Swept Away : It is debatable if Madonna can sing, but what isn’...

Joe Francis is a d-bag

Image
Joe Francis (the guy that created Girls Gone Wild) is considering suing Gawker for naming him Douche Bag of the decade. Threatening to sue Gawker just simply proves that you are a major Douche Bag. However, keep in mind that he has countless accounts of criminal behavior. And, best part is the douche bag letter he sent to Gawker. Read on, (( Hey Nick, I am suing you tomorrow personally. You messed with the wrong guy. No one make up lies about me and gets away with it. I lost a 10 million dollar deal as a direct result of you calling me “a rapist”. You will be paying me every dime of that back and more! Are you mentally retarded? Do your research first. I am coming after you harder then I have ever went after anyone. I am going to wipe you off the grid!!!! YOU ARE DONE! I will take everything you have. You, Nick Denton, are truly the “Douche of the Decade” Merry Xmas IDIOT!!! Joe Francis P.S. I sent you an updated picture of how I actually look now ...

Well, this is strange

Well, it is a small world. I'm not going to say who, but I'm friends with someone that is friends with another person that made my blog famous a few years back. I can't believe it. That's all I'm going to say. I never realized exactly how close to the story I really was. They say everyone knows someone you know in Louisville.

Cameron vs. fan?

James Cameron is a jerk but… Cameron has always been an asshole and any fan of Cameron should at this point know he’s a major asshole. Why is it a surprise to anyone that he treats people like shit? Granted, I would have signed the autograph because it would have taken only one minute. But still… Here’s the problem I have with the whole situation. There is this strange sense of entitlement that certain fans have with stars and creators. They feel that the people creating the art need to bow down to them because they buy their stuff. While I believe you deserve respect and Cameron should have handled it differently, turning from fan to hater is a poor move. Why try to get Cameron to sign an Avatar poser if you didn’t like the movie? Just because they create something doesn’t mean they need to hear shit from you After the director or actor turns you down the first time, let it go. Why keep pestering him afterwards with signing it? And truth be told, was this ...

Update

Update: I just watched Paranormal Activity and I have to say that I thought it was an interesting movie, but it doesn't live up to the hype. People have been claiming it is an extremely scary movie, but it is more novel than scary. Anyway, for those that have seen the movie, here is the original ending to the movie . I believe this ending much better than the theatrical ending, or the Alt-ending on the DVD. Why didn't they include this ending on the DVD? At some point, I'll have a review, but right now I'm really busy and have a few reviews backed up.

AT&T vs NY

AT&T (refuses to sell I-Phones to NY city users) Luke Wilson hasn't aged well... Remember that lawsuit that AT&T has against Verizon? You know the one where Verizon claims that they have more coverage than AT&T in their ads. It looks like Verizon might have point here because AT&T is refusing to sell the iPhone to customers in the New York area. From the Consumerist, ((I was on the AT&T Wireless website trying to get an iPhone. However, when I put in my zip code 11231, the site says the iPhone is unavailable. This seemed a little odd so I started punching in other famous zip codes: 90210, 60609 (spiegel catalog), 02134 (zoom, an old children's show). For theses cities, LA, Chicago, Boston, iPhone is available. Then I looked up some other zip codes: Dallas, Miami, St. Louis, Philadelphia, San Francisco. All those cities are ok. Then I started putting in more NYC zip codes: midtown, Staten Island, the Bronx...no iPhone available. This is weird......

Kristanna Loken, what happened?

Kristanna Loken, what happened? As I am currently watching BloodRayne, I noticed that I have seen the lead actress in much since this movie and T3. She doesn't seem to be a good actress, but she is a stunningly attractive woman. She had so much promise after T3 that it doesn't seem she capture that buzz she had after that movie. Instead, she kept doing Uwe Boll over and over again. Not only is she doing Boll movies, she also has a role in a National Lampoon's film ( The Legend of Awesomest Maximus ). I guess she has given up on doing anything legit because she's doing another BloodRayne movie. ( BloodRayne 3: Warhammer ) Will she continue to make Boll movies?

Top 50 Bad Movies of the 2000s (1-10)

Top 50 Bad Movies of the 2000s (1-10) Ah, the 2000s brought us many things. Some of them good and some of them bad. It is a decade of many good movies, but there were tons of bad movies out there. To my surprise, I saw many of them. Now, people might wonder why I might subject myself to some of these shitty movies, but it is because I view myself as a critic. To understand good art, you also have to look at what doesn’t work either. Some movies are so bad that they end up fun (Tango and Cash anyone?) And, it is fun to rip into shitty movies that have taken away hours of your life. So with that, I am going to rip into my Top 50 Bad Movies of the 2000s. I’ll go through ten movies in each post I do, starting with 1-10 and the worst being number 50. __________________________________________________ Glitter 1. Glitter (2001) : Man, I just watched this Mariah Carey movie just recently on TV. I can’t believe how bad Mariah is in this movie. She is terrible. ...

Hmm, nice

While trying to find picture for my top worst movies of the decade, I came across this very enticing picture of Halle Berry holding her goods. I have no idea where the hell this picture originated from, but damn I really like it a lot. I've never understand why David Justice and Eric Benét divorced this fine woman. Granted I wouldn't let her drive my car around, but come on

Star Wars Holiday Special (Nostalgia Critic)

Star Wars Holiday Special (Nostalgia Critic) G eorge Lucas from the wiki page , “If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy of that show and smash it." In an online chat with fans, he reportedly said: "The holiday special does not represent my vision for Star Wars." In an interview with Maxim magazine in May 2002, Maxim asked the question, "Any plans for a Special Edition of the Holiday Special?" Lucas responded with "Right. That's one of those things that happened, and I just have to live with it.” -I remember trying to watch the beginning with Wookiee speak and it was painful. -What is wrong with Luke Skywalker's makeup. Were they trying to make him look like woman? -Harrison Ford is just sleepwalking through this movie. -It is true that Lucas had very little to do with the special and pretty much farmed it out to the network and studio. I dare anyone to sit through ten minutes of this mess. Part 1 Pa...

Happy Holidays (Yeah, I said the dreaded “H” word)

Enjoy this score from the Batman TAS called "Christmas with the Joker".

Thanks, KYM (I can hear you over how awesome I am)

A nother shout-out from a cool site (Know Your Meme) Since 2005, I’ve been blogging for a long time, so it is always a treat when someone or some site notices me. I’ve had my share of wanted and unwanted attention over the years. But, it is always a treat to have a site I read regularly actually use me as a reference ! That's right, I was linked to a page that explains the meme “I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am”. They linked to me from a post I did back on June, 2005 It was my Wil Wheaton vs, Shatner post from almost five years ago . Man, that was a long time ago. Anyway, I'd like thank Know Your Meme for the mention. Yes, she is hot, but you can never have her. ___________________________________________________ This is a prime example of a Band Nerd. Hell, no one looks good in a band uniform. I wonder if this guy knows he's a meme. B and Nerd from Urban Dictionary , ((a person with no school activities other than band. A pers...
